ive seen 5 foot plants with two "2 bulb fixtures on either side" for a total of 4 bulbs one fixture on either side and mount them vertical not horizontal. The only problem your going to run into is light penetration to bud it properly, then you gotta decide if you can shell out 120 bucks for a 400 hps for flowering. Dont overwater or over nute (nutrients, fertilizer, etc.) those 2 things can really play havoc on young plants. Also a lot of people overlook this but your plant needs fresh air, and moving air, a fan helps the latter but depending on your room your growing in fresh can be a little harder.
